View Full Version : Shrek - gutted.
My daughter came inside last night a bit upset - apparently that sheep Shrek who was famous for a day being a long hair was killed before cameras .He was dragged into a shed and a close up was shown of his throat being cut,then hung up and gutted.She didn't expect to see him being killed in such callous detail,I wasn't much better when I told her that's what happens to sheep - but later apologized.
In retrospect it seems a bit bizarre that this sheep who was famous internationally for a day should then be slaughtered in front of cameras a few weeks later - the lives of the rich and famous eh?

Obviously most people in this country don't appreciate Jeremy Wells ascerbic wit - especially judging by the amount of complaints to the TV station this programme received.
For the record, the sheep was a "body double" - Shrek is alive and kicking.
Can't say the same for the body double but :rolleyes:

Eating media lunch has a warning at the beginning
I think it said...
"This programme will offend most people"

yea and it wasnt shrek but they had 50 complaints in a short time after it was aired on tv
Ha Ha,thanks for that - I tell her these shows are crap,but young people just gotta watch them,she was just flipping the channels when she saw it so never had any idea she was being duped.
Yip, i just heard on the rock the guy that owns shrek get interviewed. He is fine and making a guest appearance at some place this weekend.
Apparantly the sheep has already raised $75 grand for charity.

MAF's animal welfare investigators are all over this like a rash. The biggest mobilisation of resources following a televised animal welfare abuse since the "City Girls" programme where a tractor was used to assist a cow giving birth...

Shrek will be starring at Trentham this weekend -- his undercard acts are the finalists from NZ Idol...

WTF??!?!?
Spot the guy who doesn't have a tv. Who is Shrek the Sheep, and why does anyone care if he lives or becomes lamb chops?
Secondly since when has NZ been so squemish as to have a problem with slaughtering animals. Isn't this the farming country? I mean it's not like they showed the video of the Russian soldier having his throat slit like a pigs, before being beheaded. We're talking about a sheep. Hundreds killed dayly to provide us with meat.
To quote Jackrat - "If God didn't want us eating animals he wouldn't have made them out of meat". I have no problems with how the meat on my plate got there and where it came from. I'd love to know how many of those complaints were from carnivors(sp?).

Or made them stupid enough for a slower less hardy animal (humans) to catch and eat them, let alone farm them.
God would also have made there pelts less useful for keeping us warm or softening up the hardest of motorcycle seats.

It's almost getting to the stage that like the USA our kids will start thinking meat just turns up on supermarket shelves but they have no idea how it gets there.Having had dealings with MAF on a fairly regular basis it doesn't suprise me that they jump on this Shrek thing while turning a blind eye to the things that go on at any farm in the country.
I wonder how the flat footed city dwellers that eat beef would act if they ever had to take part in dehorning two year old steers and bulls with a giant pair of loppers.These animals end up charging about in intense pain with blood pumping all over the place.At times the whole horn root is torn out and you can see their brain through the hole.Never hear MAF or SPCA saying anything about that do we.The meat most people eat comes from animals that live their whole lives in terror of what's going to happen next and then they get to stand in line watching their mates get killed while waiting their own turn.Oh yeah that's after being starved for two days so their systems are cleaned out.I wonder what it feels like to have a rubber ring put round your balls so they fall off after a couple of weeks.The way the lambs leap about crying I think it probably don't feel to good.
At lest the Vegan's have the balls to live their ideals unlike a lot of people today.Iv'e also often wondered how professed christian people justify themselfs while they chew on a nice chop or two.Isn't there some thing in the bible about "Tho shalt not kill"
That one little sentence or command is the major reason why I've never been able to take any of the popular religions today at all seriously.

Didn't see it, but it's about time they showed a few realities of life (and death) about food!
Maybe they should have a TV program - "Your Food - where it comes from and how its prepared!"
Shit, then you'd see some Anorexia! - half the population would be too scared to eat! :yes::D

Finally saw that clip late last night. A young child or a coty slicker could have been sucked into thinking it was the very same beasty that was famous. The clip I saw never actually showed the throat being cut, that was left to your own imagination. I did nt see much wrong with it, taken that it was not a serious clip and my kids saw it for what it was and worked out it was not THE shrek.
How about this sign then? Mentions Zed's boss too!
(((grin))) Capital "G" too!

Wonder what the Huntin's like down there?? <_<Jackrat, "Thou shalt not kill" was one of the 10 commandments of course, which refers to killing your fellow man. Christ reiterated this truth in the NT when he replaced the word "kill" for "murder". There is no debate here:
Matthew 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
There is nothing wrong with surviving on animals for food and clothing - killing for sport on the other hand is another story! :ar15:
Proverbs 27:26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Personally. I don't think its real. Unlike the one they do have there of a Russian officer getting beheaded by chechen rebels. that one is incredibly puke inducing.
Was shown it one time by a mate. Something I'd rather never have seen...
